One of the first groups on Green Cookie's companion label Surf Cookie Records, we have Bamboogie Injections from Russia (formerly under a different name that they have effectively swept under the rug). It makes an impression quickly though, with some frighteningly fast picking on the first two modern surf tracks. Thankfully for arthritic concern, there's some speed variation on this, with "Dandelion Wine" especially making for an interesting mix of mid-tempo song-writing, swirling keyboards (which by the way get pretty fast on this record too), and jittery-fast guitarism. Its on songs like that one where a psychedelic side shows through, though they never stray far from a surf sound. I'm kind of thinking Tomorrowmen's first record, but you wouldn't mistake the two for each other. A pretty creative group here, and I'm looking forward to a few more listens of this one.
